Animals We want to believe, I want to believe, that there is something special about me, about my body, about my brain that makes me so superior to a dog, or a pig, or a chimpanzee. But the truth is, on the individual level, I'm embarrassingly similar to a chimpanzee, and if you take me and a chimpanzee and put us together on some lonely island and we had to struggle for survival to see who survives better, I would definitely place my bets on the chimpanzee, not on myself. This is not something wrong with me personally. Yuval Noah Harari © 2016 Kwiple.com
